2015 Year in Review – Dear Mr. Gable

Happy 2016!

This year, I slacked in some areas (no Movie of the Month features for the majority of the year, yikes), not as many articles posted as I’d like (I still have over 80 waiting to be typed), but did a lot of things that I’ve been meaning to do for years (reviewing “Gable and Lombard” (1976), digging into old newspapers to research Mrs. Gables, the site got a new webhost and a makeover, which was a long time coming).

Many thanks for that amazing and really special site. Gable is one of the greatest actors of all time and I must say that this area is a kind of his commemorative sanctuary. Keep up with that!

Best wishes,

Peter
